Home/ The White-eyed Wolves I Personally Raised Are All Coveting My Legacy/ Chapter 28
The old butler immediately collapsed, he desperately tried to push away all the bodyguards who were blocking him, and stood in front of Si Yang’s tombstone.
“Yu Zheng! That’s your brother!”
Yu Zheng’s face was expressionless, “Didn’t you all say that he was dead and tell me to come and find him? Now I’ll see for myself if he’s really dead or not.”
“Dig!” He turned his head to look at the frightened bodyguards, and said in a hoarse voice, “Didn’t you hear what I said?”
“…” Several bodyguards silently stepped forward, picked up the shovels, but did not dare to start.
They are all considered Yu Zheng’s confidantes, and none of them is an idiot who wants to do this.
Over the years, they have been by Yu Zheng’s side, often following Yu Zheng’s obsession to find Si Yang’s traces. But the little bit of information that they heard out of the secretary’s mouth, even if it was just the tip of the iceberg, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Si Yang is already dead.
“Young Master Yu, it’s no use digging up the ashes. It doesn’t make sense if we can’t do a DNA verification.”
However, Yu Zheng directly grabbed the shovel and said, “It’s fine if you don’t want to do it, I will do it myself!”
He stubbornly walked to Si Yang’s tomb and shoveled down.
The old butler couldn’t bear it any longer. He immediately walked over and slapped Yu Zheng in the face, “How long are you going to make trouble! He has given you his whole life, so let him go now that he’s finally dead!”
“Go away!” Yu Zheng fiercely pushed him away, but the old butler raised his other hand again and slapped the other side of his face.
Everyone thought Yu Zheng would dodge, but he didn’t. The old butler looked up and found that Yu Zheng’s face was already covered with tears at some point.
“Young master, people are already gone, why do you still hold hatred towards him?” The old butler also choked up, he held Yu Zheng’s hand and coaxed him to let go of the shovel, taking him away from Si Yang’s tomb.
“Stop making trouble, let’s go home.”
Yu Zheng looked at him in confusion. It wasn’t until several seconds later that he suddenly said a sentence, “If even Si Yang is dead, do I still have a home?”
When he said this sentence, his tone was very gentle, not the kind of gentleness that he deliberately uses in front of others everyday, but more pure, even a bit naive and soft.
This kind of gentleness is very familiar to the old butler. At this time, he just looks like that innocent Yu Zheng, who was brought back by Si Yang years ago.
It is also the same Yu Zheng who admired his noble, elegant, and omnipotent elder brother.
The old butler and the secretary looked at each other, and suddenly both of them felt an emotion that could almost be called fear.
In their hearts, they always felt that Yu Zheng deeply hated Si Yang, and in Si Yang’s plan, it was indeed arranged like this. But why the current Yu Zheng doesn’t seem to have any deep hatred towards him?
No, it can’t be! The secretary was the first to react, and he suddenly realized that Yu Zheng might have another kind of affection for Si Yang. He confronted Si Yang more than once…and even found a substitute like Lin Tang.
On the surface, he seemed to want to humiliate Si Yang. But if one really looked through his act, it may not necessarily be without true feelings.
He suddenly grabbed Yu Zheng and called out to him, “Young Master.”
Yu Zheng pushed his hands away and said to the bodyguards behind him, “You, you all go and check everything about Si Yang when he was alive. Find two more people, one is Lin Tang and the other is Lu Meng. Even if you can’t find Si Yang, these two people can definitely be found.”
“And one more thing, even if you have to dig three feet under the ground, find Si Yang’s attending doctor from back then. I don’t believe that his whole family went abroad.”
“Find all the people within three days!”
“Don’t let them run away or have any accidents.”
After speaking, Yu Zheng turned around and left.
This time he went down the mountain alone, just like when Si Yang first brought him here for the first time, like an unwanted abandoned dog, dirty and weak.
In the end, he always seemed to be left behind.
Yu Zheng always imagined that when he met Si Yang again, he would be a winner. He would then lock Si Yang up and let him watch Yu Group rise to an unprecedented height step by step. He would let Si Yang watch himself get married, have children and live the most fulfilling life.
Watch him regret, listen to his pleadings, and even if Si Yang is unwilling that he would rather die than submit, Yu Zheng has already figured out how to coerce him, how to punish him, including how to force him, even if it’s just acting, he would make Si Yang say the same words he used back then to deceive himself, “Brother will always accompany you!”
So now, even if everyone told him that Si Yang was no longer here, Yu Zheng couldn’t let himself believe that the man who had given him so much humiliation and beatings, the man who stepped on his sincerity countless times, just died like this.
How could his death be so silent and understated? It wasn’t even as “influential” as those little minions who were killed by Si Yang himself in the past.
No one knows what kind of life Yu Zheng has been living in the past two years. Even though Si Yang left behind a relatively clean Yu Group, the company actually operates in a whole different way.
Always sleeping in the shadow of swords hanging above his head, Yu Zheng felt that he couldn’t go on countless times. But when he thought that Si Yang might be lying comfortably in a nursing home abroad with a beautiful scenery in front of him, occasionally teasing the little nurse who takes care of him, Yu Zheng was able to get up again and continue to fight with those old people in the company.
But now, everyone told him that Si Yang had already died? He was cremated and turned into ashes, and there was only a tomb left with a few words on it.
He won’t believe it! All these people are lying to him!
Yu Zheng suddenly stopped and turned his head to look behind him. He saw the old butler, the secretary, and even his own confidants looking at him with eyes that were filled with emotions softer than pity.
Yu Zheng took a deep breath, turned his head resolutely, and strode down the mountain.
As the mountain breeze blew towards him, Yu Zheng’s body suddenly trembled, and he subconsciously called out, “Brother.”——
For the next three days, Yu Zheng lived very peacefully. Both his business and life were in order. He even ate three meals a day, and his body was very healthy. When looking at people, he always had a smile on his face, as if the person who went crazy and wanted to dig a grave wasn’t him.
But everyone who knew him well realized that this was a precursor that Yu Zheng was on the verge of collapse.
Soon, the fuse was delivered to the door.
In the last hour of the third day, Yu Zheng’s confidant who was sent to investigate came back.
“Did you find out?”
“It’s all been found out.” He said in a low voice, but hesitated to hand over the results of his investigation.
Yu Zheng looked up at him, and the subordinate bit his lip before finally putting the thick folder on Yu Zheng’s desk.
“Young master, you… don’t be too sad.”
Yu Zheng didn’t speak and opened the document to look at the first page. The page mentioned all the times when Si Yang went to receive medical care that year.
Yu Zheng also checked these things two years ago, but couldn’t find anything. But now he is a different person from the one who took action in a time of crisis. Although it is difficult to find this information, it is not impossible.
However, it is better to remain ignorant sometimes.
For example, Yu Zheng, who doesn’t know everything, can actually be happy.
He turned to the first page, and the old medical records clearly mentioned Si Yang’s entire medical treatment process.
Si Yang was indeed diagnosed with an illness six months before Yu Zheng was brought back to the Yu family. However, Si Yang chose to give up the treatment.
“Why?” Yu Zheng asked his confidant. His tone remained calm.
The subordinate replied, “Dr. Tao said that the young man didn’t want to be hospitalized. He was…at that time…no, he couldn’t get away from his work at that time.”
“Oh.” Yu Zheng ignored the change in his tone, and continued to look down.
The remaining stuff is similar to what he already knows. When Yu Zheng saw the three life-saving injections, his hands trembled.
Because he has an impression of this thing. On his birthday, Si Yang returned early to Yu’s house. At that time, he was carrying a small box. When Si Yang was in a mess, Yu Zheng took the opportunity to open it and saw the three injections.
At that time, he thought that Si Yang was seriously ill as he was carrying medicine with him, but in fact, he wasn’t?
It wasn’t because of a serious illness, but because he was about to die?
Yu Zheng suddenly felt chills all over his body. He quickly skipped over these details and looked back.
It’s the list of Si Yang’s expenses.
It’s different from what he always imagined. Si Yang looks like he is fond of luxury and is a person who likes to enjoy himself, but unexpectedly, he doesn’t spend much in his life. It’s not even comparable to Yu Zheng’s own current expenses.
But even so, Yu Zheng found several ridiculous contents inside.
One is to release fishes back into the sea to gain blessings and the other is to repair Buddha statues.
“Does Si Yang still believe in these things?” Yu Zheng wondered if his subordinates deliberately put this in to tease him.
However, the subordinate continued to shake his head, “No.”
“The family-search association is a non-profit organization established by the Eldest Young Master to find lost children. Releasing fishes and practicing Buddhism may be some of the means they used to pray for the children.”
“Gain blessings? For whom? For me?” Yu Zheng asked back, his face expressionless, so calm as if he was talking about other people’s affairs.
The subordinate was really anxious and hurriedly persuaded him, “Young Master Yu, don’t be too sad…”
“Haha, sad?” Yu Zheng casually threw away the folder, “For this kind of white-eyed wolf… how can I feel sad for such people?”
“Alright, I know he’s dead, you can go out.” Yu Zheng waved his hand and gestured to his subordinate. But he never opened the following content.
He had a vague premonition in his heart that, as long as he saw the investigation later, he could verify it. But Yu Zheng dared not, he was afraid that after seeing it, he would wish to stab himself to death.
Taking a deep breath, Yu Zheng added, “By the way, let those two people go!”
“Ask the old butler to go back to Yu’s house, and let Xu Lin continue to work.”
“Then are you still looking for Lin Tang and Lu Meng?”
“No need to search anymore.” Yu Zheng shook his head, “Since he is really dead, there is no need to look for people.”
“Yes, Young Master.” The subordinate went out and followed Yu Zheng’s instructions to get things done.
However, when sending the secretary back to the company, he specifically asked, “You are someone close to the Young Master, pay more attention these two days, maybe something is wrong with him.”
The secretary nodded in agreement, and pushed open the office door.
Yu Zheng was looking at a project plan without any sadness or tears, just like when he learned about Si Yang’s death two years ago, as if he and Si Yang were strangers.
The secretary didn’t ask anything either, as if he wasn’t the one who had been imprisoned by Yu Zheng for the last three days. He quietly stayed by Yu Zheng’s side and worked seriously.
But all this superficial calm is false in the end.
Three days later, the secretary suddenly noticed a small bottle of medicine in Yu Zheng’s bag. He secretly took it out to have a look. It was sleeping pills.
However, Yu Zheng never suffered from insomnia before. This person has always been so calm that he can force himself to lie down and sleep as usual even if the sky is falling. So why can’t he sleep all of a sudden?
But before the secretary could ask, something had already happened to Yu Zheng.
That night, Shi Ershao invited Yu Zheng and several other Young Masters to have drinks together.
Yu Zheng has played less in the last two years, but he often gets together with them for drinks. He has always been restrained, but today I don’t know if it’s because he was really happy, he drank a lot of wine mixed together.
As soon as the venue heated up, he leaned against the sofa, as if he was feeling a bit tipsy.
It just so happened that Yu Zheng wore a silk shirt today. The two collar buttons were open and his tie was hanging loosely, forming an indescribable contrast with his usual abstinent appearance. He really looked like a cynical young master.
Someone suddenly said, “Damn it! They’re really true brothers, they even look exactly the same when they’re drunk.”
“What are you talking about!” Shi Ershao felt bad when he heard it. Where did Yu Zheng have another brother? Except for Si Yang back then.
That man also drank too much, and he revealed everything as soon as he opened his mouth, “Si Yang! Wasn’t the third young master of the Gu family also there that day?”
“I went with my brother and was the last one to leave. At that time, Si Yang was leaning against the sofa, and his posture was exactly the same as Yu Zheng right now.”
“Tsk tsk tsk, I will never forget that scene in my entire life. Later, I told my brother, if someone like Si Yang is willing to spend the night with me, I would be willing to give him all the money in my hand… Hey! All the money, including real estate and stocks!”
“You’re fucking drunk! What nonsense are you talking about!” Gu Quan, who was sitting next to him, felt a thump in his heart, but before he could finish his words, Yu Zheng had already stood up.
There was a thud, the sound of a wine bottle being smashed on the table.
Yu Zheng pinched the neck of the man who spoke just now, and aimed the broken bottle at the man’s head.
“What did you just say?” Yu Zheng was still smiling, but the fierce look in his eyes was really terrifying, “I didn’t hear clearly, how about you say it again?”
“Damn it! Yu Zheng, you’re fucking crazy!” The man was so frightened that he immediately sobered up.
Shi Ershao and Gu Quan hurried over to pull Yu Zheng away.
But Yu Zheng couldn’t be stopped as if he wanted to fight desperately. In the end, it was Gu Quan who managed to take the bottle away with all his strength, and Shi Ershao quickly hugged him tightly.
“Yu Zheng! Yu Zheng! Calm down!” Shi Ershao kept trying to persuade him.
Gu Quan threw away the wine bottle, and quickly brought a wet towel to help Yu Zheng sober up.
But before the towel touched Yu Zheng’s face, Gu Quan froze.
He saw Yu Zheng crying.
Not the kind of hysterical crying, but the dazed and silent crying.
Yu Zheng is just twenty years old this year, and even though he has taken power, he is still the youngest among them, and he’s all alone with both of his parents gone.
Seeing him crying like this, everyone felt a pang in their hearts, and they couldn’t even get angry at him for making trouble and trying to hit people.
“What’s wrong with you?” Shi Ershao coaxed Yu Zheng to sit down on the sofa and asked him patiently.
However, Yu Zheng pulled his sleeve and spoke in a trembling tone.
“Si Yang…maybe…I killed him…”
“…” This matter was known to everyone two years ago, and Shi Ershao didn’t know how to answer him for a while.
However, Yu Zheng spoke again, “I, I don’t have an elder brother anymore…”
